In limp home mode I was able to slowly get it up to 90mph, with reduced acceleration. SA didn't have a clue.
New software from BMW was loaded, taking 4.5 hours. SA claimed there was a problem with the valves in the 8speed tranny.

Report: Customer states engine malfunction reduced power warning came on. "Engine will not restart" came up as well. Check and report.
